The abrupt death of legislation aimed at balancing religious freedom with gay, lesbian and bisexual civil rights left many surprised and disappointed. But, will it have a ripple effect on this year's elections?

Senate Republican Leader David Long says LGBT rights are an inevitability in Indiana and plans to debate the issue again next year.

With little support from those outside the Statehouse, and what seems to be weak support inside the building, a bill that aims to balance LGBT rights and religious freedom faces an uncertain fate.

A Senate committee Wednesday approved a bill that aims to balance protections for gay, lesbian and bisexual Hoosiers and people faith. But, those testifying in complete support of the measure were few and far between.

An Indiana lawmaker Wednesday took another pass at rewriting last year's religious freedom restoration law - and the measure barely got a hearing, let alone a vote.

At least a dozen conventions cited RFRA as a reason for not choosing Indianapolis as a host city on Visit Indy's annual survey.

It's been a decade since Indianapolis put protections for gays and lesbians in its Human Rights Ordinance and city leaders are marking the anniversary as a way to put pressure on state politicians to extend the protections state-wide.

Two of the groups most opposed to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act's so-called "fix" filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging that measure, saying it infringes on their religious liberties.

Gov. Mike Pence says he's considering if the concerns of religious conservatives can be reconciled with those of gay rights supporters who want LGBT protections in law.

An ordinance that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity has been approved by the Carmel City Council. The council narrowly voted 4 to 3 in favor of the measure on Monday.
